Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Maria, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I work with clients facing challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel truly heard and empowered.

My approach to therapy

I use approaches like DBT, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Brainspotting to help people better understand themselves, build tools for coping, and make lasting changes.

What you can expect from me

Therapy can often feel scary, especially if it is your first time. The first session is all about me getting to know you and easing all of the nerves. I will ask a lot of questions, to help me better understand you and your needs. We will talk about goals and treatment plans. My goal for the first session is always to help you feel safe and heard!
